A Western adventure series
Starring Pete Duel as Smith and Ben Murphy as Jones
with guest stars Fernando Lamas, Diana Hyland

As Jones points out to Smith with a certain degree of accuracy, nobody but a danged fool would agree to guide a stranger into the secret hideout of the notorious Devil's Hole gang. Which only goes to prove that Smith is a danged fool - although even he might have seriously reconsidered the matter if he'd known just how warm his welcome would be!

A series of three film reports by Trevor Philpott

The big city parish can be a heart-breaking place for a parson to work in. It may contain over 10,000 people. It may well be suffering from all the urban diseases of our time: overcrowding, unemployment, vandalism, racial tension, broken homes and broken neighbourhoods. How can a man be shepherd to a multitude so vast that most of them would not recognise their own parson if they met him on the street?

Cole Porter, wealthy, apolitical, international playboy left perhaps the greatest single contribution to American popular music. In this profile the achievement of the composer of Anything Goes, Kiss Me Kate and High Society is assessed by Brendan Gill, theatre critic of the New Yorker, Andre Previn, and Benny Green.
Georgia Brown sings some of the songs.
